"Since we've opened we've had young people walking in the door who are experiencing homelessness, some of them are sleeping rough. A substantial group have gone to Work and Income for support, have told them their situation, and been told look, you're not entitled to access to emergency housing, or access to shelter."

One of the most pernicious things about the NatACT First messaging around their new bene-bashing policy is how they say it's about "jobseekers. Implying healthy people taking a public-funded holiday from working.
A lot of kiwis probably don't know that in the WINZ system, "jobseekers" includes a lot of people with medical conditions (some lifelong). Which make it difficult or impossible for us to work fulltime, or even if we can, to fins anyone willing to employ us.

Wtf?! Since when does #WINZ just reject your call if the call time is too long?! What happened to call backs?
Who honestly calls WINZ expecting the wait time to be less than an hour?! It was 59mins wait the first time I called them and they hung up, 74mins when I rang straight back, wtf, they're taking other people's calls?!
The old WINZ cruelty and stupidity is back. Staff in their New Plymouth office kept asking a blind man to produce his driving license as ID.

To the degree that people get trapped on welfare benefits, it's mainly because of the punitive mechanisms put into place - allegedly - to prevent "welfare dependence".

Uh oh. In a moment of weakness,rage,frustration and despair, I've sent a formal complaint in to #WINZ . Mostly cos I've been a month waiting for forms in the post that I need for my doctor's appointment next week, and mostly because their website is a dystopian nightmare of gatekeeping and no search function. Why do I end up reduced to tears everytime I deal with these fuckers ?
